As colds, flu and COVID continue to circulate this winter, a new U.S. government study finds that young children infected with COVID plus a second virus tend to become sicker.
"Severe" meant they were admitted to the intensive care unit or required machines to help them breathe.
She said the hospital is still seeing kids with RSV, sometimes in combination with COVID, but the flu and other viruses -- as well as bacterial infections -- are taking center stage, too. If a child is sick enough to be admitted to the hospital, more extensive testing may be done, Madhavan said. That's, in part, for infection control -- to keep children with, say, the flu away from other kids without it.
When the researchers looked at the data by age, they found that multiple infections raised the risk of severe illness only among children younger than 5.
